* Make the baseq3 files a fixed-output derivation, so that if
(say) stdenv changes, it doesn't have to be rebuilt. This
is nice because the baseq3 directory is pretty big.

allow the OpenGL implementation to be overriden through the
OPENGL_DRIVER environment variable. If it is not set, we use the
implementation installed in the profile
/nix/var/nix/profiles/opengl, allowing easy late binding by the
user, e.g.,
$ nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/opengl -i nvidia-sys-opengl
might install the NVidia OpenGL implementation.
The code that does this is not specific to Quake 3: it has been
factored out into build-support/opengl/mesa-switch.sh. Presumably
any application that requires hardware-accelerated OpenGL needs it.
* Add the Quake 3 demo to the cache.

quake3/demo takes care of downloading and patching the required PAK
files. quake3/wrapper calls the Quake binary with a synthesised
directory of symlinks to activated PAK files. This should make it
easy to plug in the commercial PAKs, or third-party mods.

to work "out of the box" with hardware acceleration and either the
shareware or full PAK files. But with some hackery, I have gotten
it to work with both Mesa software rendering and NVidia hardware
rendering.
